Chair Zumba for a sharper mind and body

Found this heartwarming piece of news about a group of women in their 90s living in America, Seattle who come together for Chair Zumba weekly to keep their mind and body active. You can read more about the article below, there’s a video about the ladies and their Chair Zumba classes here http://komonews.com/news/healthworks/music-and-movement-exercise-may-stave-off-dementia.

I’ve also linked a small clip about a Chair Zumba session below.

Do we have a Zumba instructor in Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, japan or China willing to organise classes? Victoria Lum’s chair Zumba classes certainly looks pretty cool.
